Details

What's wrong: Motorcycles do not conform to the requirements of fmvss no. 120, "tire selection and rims for vehicles other than passenger cars." The rims do not contain the required designation information.

Why it matters: Consequence of non-compliance: possibility of overloading and underinflating which could cause tire failures increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

The fix: Owners will receive permanent, adhesive, weather-resistant rim labels with the correct designations. Owners can place the correct labels on themselves or take their motorcycles to an authorized dealer and have the dealer install the labels free of charge for them.
